Calvin O’Keefe 🤝 Gilbert Blythe

[toast-com]

An Inexplicable Change (WIP)

"You jumped in front of me and Charles Wallace..." She spoke quietly, taking inventory of the changes that had befallen him. Calvin's eyes met hers, a slight dazed look on his freckled face.

His eyes were still blue, but slitted, like a cat's, glowing faintly in the darkened cave.

A Wrinkle In Time, Chapter 12 - The Foolish and the Weak

(THIS PROJECT IS SPOILER FREE! No spoilers past the chapter you click on. Curious what I'm doing here? Read this post! For the link index for the Time Quintet, read this one! Like what you see? Send me a Ko-Fi.)

In which sometimes you can go home again.

The three Mrs aren't quite as they were when Meg last saw them, and shortly it comes about that they aren't fully materialized, but they're here because they were called. Meg says her father left Charles on Camazotz, and Mrs Whatsit asks coldly what they're supposed to do about it. Meg pleads with her to save her brother, but Mrs Whatsit says they can't do anything on Camazotz. Meg asks if they mean for Charles to be trapped there forever, and Mrs Whatsit asks if she said that, but it's not their way to act themselves.(1)

Mr. Murry interrupts to bow to the Mrs, and Mrs Whatsit requests an introduction. Meg impatiently does the bare minimum of formalities. Mr. Murry says he'd like to learn enough about tessering to go back to Camazotz. Mrs Which says, even knowing he can't succeed? He says he has nothing left if he doesn't try. When Mrs Whatsit says he can't go, Calvin offers, but she forbids him, as well.

There was a long silence. All the soft rays filtering into the great hall seemed to concentrate on Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who, and the faint light that must be Mrs Which. No one spoke. One of the beasts moved a tendril slowly back and forth across the stone tabletop. At last Meg could stand it no longer and she cried out despairingly, “Then what are you going to do? Are you just going to throw Charles away?” Mrs Which’s voice rolled formidably across the hall. “Ssilencce, cchilldd!”

Silence, however, is not one of Meg's virtues. She cries that she can't go. Mrs Which asks if anyone asked Meg to go, and she starts crying-crying, having a full tantrum on Aunt Beast, who tolerates it. Sobbing, Meg says she'll go, but Mrs Whatsit says they don't want her to go unwillingly, or without understanding.

Suddenly, Meg's tears stop, and she says she does understand. She feels tired, and peaceful, but no longer cold. She even looks at her father and feels no anger, only love and pride.(2) Mrs Which asks what she understands, and Meg says, she knows it has to be her, because she's the closest to Charles.

Mr. Murry, however, will not allow Meg to go into this danger alone, especially not after being so injured by the darkness. Calvin says he needs to go, because he's only on this adventure to take care of Meg and Charles. Aunt Beast offers to go as well, but Mrs Whatsit cuts her off before she finishes saying it. More argument, more accusations of the Mrs being in league with IT. Mrs Whatsit explains that life is a little like a sonnet: there are rules, and defined limits, but there's also so much freedom within those restrictions. They don't know the absolute future, but they can act within the rules.

Meg says she'd like to go and get it over with, and Mrs Which agrees that it's time. Meg thanks the beasts, and AB in particular. She starts to say Calvin's name, but he rushes in and kisses her before she can even finish, but turns away before he can see how happy it made her.(3) To her father, Meg apologizes, because she wanted him to do everything and make it so her way was easy. He says that's what he wanted to do, what any parent wants for their children.(4) He tries again to go in her stead, but is again shut down.(5) Instead, he tells her not to be afraid of being afraid. She starts to give him a message for her mother, but stops and says she'll say it herself after.

This time, the Mrs' gifts are not things Meg can touch with her hands at all. Mrs Whatsit gives her love, Mrs Who gives 1 Corinthians 1:25-28(6) in hopes that Meg will understand it when the time comes, as she understood the tesseract. Mrs Which pulls Meg through the tesseract, and as she stands on a hill on Camazotz, she gives Meg her gift: the knowledge that Meg has something IT doesn't, but she'll have to find it for herself.

Meg walks through Camazotz again, alone, toward the domed building, wondering what she has that IT doesn't. She remembers what her father said, about how IT isn't used to being resisted. She keeps in mind that she's going to save her brother. Soon, she's in front of the domed building, and then suddenly within.

Charles is there. When Meg thinks about what she might have that IT doesn't, he tells her the answer is nothing. He says it's nice to have her back, that Mrs Whatsit is a friend of IT, and tries to take her over again. She says he's lying, about there being nothing and about Mrs Whatsit. He says Mrs Whatsit hates Meg, but that's where IT fails. Meg remembers that Mrs Whatsit loves her, unconditionally, and love is what Meg has that IT hasn't.

Meg stands there, and she thinks her love at Charles, so hard that it calls him back to her. He runs into her arms, and immediately, she feels herself swept away, tessered back out. She, and Charles, and Calvin and Mr. Murry are all back home, in the vegetable garden. Dennys and Sandy come out to call Meg and Charles in for bedtime, and Mr. Murry is off like a rocket across the lawn to hug them too. Soon, everyone is in a hug pile, even Calvin.

Meg knew all at once that Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who, and Mrs Which must be near, because all through her she felt a flooding of joy and of love that was even greater and deeper than the joy and love which were already there. She stopped laughing and listened, and Charles listened, too. “Hush.” Then there was a whirring, and Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who, and Mrs Which were standing in front of them, and the joy and love were so tangible that Meg felt that if she only knew where to reach she could touch it with her bare hands. Mrs Whatsit said breathlessly, “Oh, my darlings, I’m sorry we don’t have time to say goodbye to you properly. You see, we have to—” But they never learned what it was that Mrs Whatsit, Mrs Who, and Mrs Which had to do, for there was a gust of wind, and they were gone.(7)

(1) Some people have the ability to go out and risk themselves and march in protests and join sit-ins, but not everyone has the endurance or the resources. Some of us sit in the back, cooking and mending and caring for those who need to fall back before going back out there. We need all sorts working together to accomplish the greatest of goals. (2) I don't know how this would've been better done but I know it feels far too quick and convenient. (3) Less than ideal circumstances but I'll refrain from complaint about potential teen age gaps and consent. (4) Pretty sure Calvin's mom proves otherwise but sure, it's what parents SHOULD want to do for their children. (5) We're spending this much time on the same argument and none on how Meg came around to the right side so fast? Sure Jan dot gif. (6) The verse is about how God's foolishness and weakness are still superior to the best of humanity, but God made the foolish and the weak to shame the wise and the strong, and God chose the "despised things of the world" to humble those who would make themselves out to be great. She carefully leaves off the verses that finish the section: that this choice was made so that no one would be able to boast in God's presence, and it's those choices that make everyone children of God. I go back and forth on whether it's with the intention of making the verse feel less Christian-God-ish, or if L'Engle intended the rest by inference. (7) This whole final chapter has no room to breathe at all, but this is the perfect moment to leave it off, I think.

[sophieswundergarten]

I was trying to sleep last night when the planets aligned I guess and I was granted a rather violent epiphany:

Constance Contraire and Charles Wallace Murry are psychic in the same way, and yet their wildly different personalities affect how it manifests.

Whereas Charles Wallace pretty much only uses his abilities to check in on his family and occasionally freak people out because it's funny, Constance chooses to wreak havoc at every available opportunity. This, I think, is part of why Constance could break the Whisperer but Charles Wallace couldn't withstand IT; he's too nice.

However, this aligns with my previous micro-epiphany that Meg Murry and Sticky are similar. Which means that Calvin O'Keefe corresponds with Reynie, and the twins match up with Kate.

At least, that is what my half-asleep brain came to the conclusion of and now I don't know what to do with this information. Someone please tell me if I'm crazy or not.

#17 A Wind at the Door

by Madeleine L’Engle

Rating: 3/5

Pages: 245 (with “Go Fish: Questions for the Author)

Publisher: Squarefish (an imprint of Macmillian)

While the first novel in the series was a breeze to read (it took me about a month), the second novel was more like an updraft that took me about two years to get through (not counting life events). I finally finished it June 2021 by scheduling reading time. I don’t know if many people know that this is a series that follows the lives of the Murrays. The journey so far has been moderately pleasant but also a bit confusing. This is A Wind at the Door by Madeleine L’Engle.

This story begins as abruptly as the previous book ended. I don’t know if L’Engle’s new idea will stretch across the remaining three books, but I see something developing. While the concept was interesting in the first book, this first sequel, at least for me, lacked some of the charm of the first novel. On the other hand, I don’t know what I was expecting would happen to the trio this time around. I thought there would be some sort of connection between the two books but there didn’t seem to be anything, except the smallest hint of the mention of the tesseract as a passive thought but no mention of Mrs. Whatsit, Who, or Which. We are instead taken on a journey to one of the most rooted places in the universe. Along with new characters that help Meg, Calvin, and Charles Wallace on this journey.

We find out during the first few chapters of the novel that about a year has passed since the last adventure and both Charles Wallace and Meg, as well as the rest of the family, have either forgotten that adventure or it’s as if nothing ever happened. And if they do remember it, it seems more like it was either inconsequential or that something like this always happens to them, which being the second novel in the series, it does. We start with Charles Wallace telling Meg that he believes that there is a “drove of dragons” in their backyard. Meg believing that Charles Wallace is exaggerating find that this, along with his high intelligence, is what gets him bullied at school. I find that the village just doesn’t like Charles Wallace. They didn’t like him before because they felt he wasn’t interacting at a “normal” level, and they don’t like him now because he is smarter than everyone else. This town just finds things to be prejudiced about when it doesn’t meet their “approval.” We then find out that Charles Wallace is sick, and help is sent to figure out why and possibly save his life because it is hinted that his life serves a bigger purpose.

In this adventure we come across some new faces. Some good, whose help becomes imperative to have, while others are deadly opponents.

We meet Proginoskes, nicknamed “Progo” by Meg, a cherubim that is partnered up with her to pass a series of tests for both the good of the universe and the greater good.

Sporos, an inhabitant connected to Charles Wallace.

Blajeny, the teacher that guides both Charles Wallace and “Progos” through this journey.

And although he isn’t exactly a new character, we become further acquainted with Meg’s former principal, Mr. Jenkins.

The Ecthori are the villains who are going around the universe destroying and “X-ing” anything and everything.

And yes, like last time, the focus is again on Meg’s struggle with leadership of sorts. But it falls a bit flat this time around. Meg is constantly whining and rejecting the call of her mission before the first test ever happens—which by the by happens halfway through the book. While it’s understandable that she is only a child with an enormous task, constant complaining doesn’t help anyone. We hardly see Charles Wallace after the first quarter of the book and Calvin barely registers in the story. It reads more like a brainstorming idea that is all over the place. It somewhat reminds me of “1001 Nights” where there is a collection of stories framed into the main plot of the bigger story. Unfortunately, at this point, I don’t know what the main story is. But then again this is only the second book in the series. I know that there are a few other series connected to the Time Quintet but as a reader, I personally don’t want to read every other book in the bibliography, so I hope that the questions related to these three characters are answered in the following books of this series.

There are a few things I found interesting in this book. We learn that the communication style Calvin and Charles share is called “kything.” It’s not named in A Wrinkle in Time (AWT). But in A Wind in the Door (AWD) it is described as having the ability to read a person’s mind or feelings as if the person is either “one” with the person or communicating as if they were face-to-face. There is a running theme of “non-physical sight” at every turn from “not everything is as it appears to be” and “there is more to what one sees,” but also seeing by “sensing,” either through “kything” or rhythm of being. This had been implemented in AWT but is picked up again in this story and making it a strong point so that Meg is able to save her brother and the day.

At the beginning of the story, before the adventure is well underway, Meg is worried about Charles Wallace being bullied by the kids in his elementary school. Meg is frustrated that even though her parents are scientists, they don’t seem “smart” enough to realize how constantly he is bullied at school. She mentions this to Calvin, who responds that he might be better off in a “city school where there’re lots of different kinds of kids … [and] [m]aybe he wouldn’t stand out as being so different if there were other different people too.” And that the only reason the twins and Calvin have fared better in their respective schools is because they “play by the law of the jungle.” Something Meg and her youngest brother don’t do at all. It almost feels that L’Engle is commenting on how things could be or should be in society, apart from all the “world saving from dark forces” aside. The two Murry children that refuse to be other than wholeheartedly themselves are outcasts and the twins and Calvin blend to survive. This is survival is on a different scale than that of the “Ecthori.” It is still the same battle where Meg will always name herself before letting anyone “X” her or who she is. In that respect, I believe that Meg is admirable. It does offset her whining a bit.

[chavisory]

You know, stripped of a whole lot of the rest of the goofiness, implausibility, and low-key racism of this book, "grown up Calvin O'Keefe doing ecological crime-solving" really is a movie I'd watch.

A Wrinkle In Time, Chapter 8 - The Transparent Column

(THIS PROJECT IS SPOILER FREE! No spoilers past the chapter you click on. Curious what I'm doing here? Read this post! For the link index for the Time Quintet, read this one! Like what you see? Send me a Ko-Fi.)

In which we achieve half the plot's stated goal!

Meg demands the man tell her what he did with Charles Wallace. He pretends he's done nothing. Meg gets shouty, but Calvin says they should focus on tethering Charles Wallace's true self to themselves, hold on to him so he's not lost somewhere. They try to physically restrain Charles's body, but he's stronger than he should be, and the red-eyed man's attendants cut in when they get too rowdy.

Charles, who until further notice is really just the entity speaking through Charles, says they had it all wrong, they've been fighting a friend, even their father's friend. Meg says if her father says the man is a friend, she might accept that, unless he's under a spell like Charles. Charles scoffs at the idea of spells.(1) He uses a term that sets Meg off further, because he's never called her "dear sister".

Calvin asks that the entity stop speaking through Charles, as they already know it has him hypnotized. The man calls that word primitive, but allows it, and has his attendants release Meg and Calvin. Calvin asks what he is, but the man says that's not important. Calvin asks if he'll escort them to Mr. Murry, but the man can't leave this place, it will be Charles who guides them. When Calvin asks when, the man replies, "it might as well be now."

Charles indicates for them to follow, and starts walking, clearly not his own gait. Meg hesitates, but Calvin follows, so she must as well. She half wants to grab Calvin's hand, but she's done nothing but look for hands to hold since this journey started, so she balls up her fists and puts them in her pockets.(2)

On the way, Calvin tries to focus and telepathically draw Charles back, but the entity speaking through Charles suggests he not try that again if they want to see Mr. Murry. He doesn't even call him that or father, simply "Murry". Meg asks if that's what he'd call his father now, and Charles says if Meg needs a father, better to look to IT. Meg finally asks what IT is.

"All in good time," Charles Wallace said. "You're not ready for IT yet. First of all I will tell you something about this beautiful, enlightened planet of Camazotz." His voice took on the dry, pedantic tones of Mr. Jenkins. "Perhaps you do not realize that on Camazotz we have conquered all illness, all deformity--"(3) "We?" Calvin interrupted. Charles continued as though he had not heard. And of course he hadn't, Meg thought.

Essentially, if anyone gets so much as a cold, they're murdered. Before the story can deal with that, Charles makes a wall flicker and grow transparent, for them to move into a small room. Calvin asks how he did that, and Charles says, he just rearranged the atoms. Matter is mostly space, so if you convince it to move in closer, you create spaces.

Meg realizes the small room is an elevator, and it's just starting to move.

Charles says they've conquered difference, and Meg should be able to relate to that: her differences are what make her so unhappy at home. Calvin protests, he's different and happy, but Charles points out that Calvin pretends he isn't different. Meg says she might not like standing out, but she doesn't want to be like everyone else either.

The elevator stops, letting them out, though Calvin barely makes it out before the wall rematerializes. Meg accuses the thing in Charles of wanting to leave Calvin behind. Charles just says he's teaching them to stay on their toes and discouraging them from causing more trouble, so he won't have to bring them to IT.

This time, when Meg asks what IT is, Charles answers.

"You might call IT the Boss." Then Charles Wallace giggled, a giggle that was the most sinister sound Meg had ever heard. "IT sometimes calls ITself the Happiest Sadist." Meg spoke coldly, to cover her fear. "I don't know what you're talking about." "That's s-a-d-i-s-t, not s-a-d-d-e-s-t, you know," Charles Wallace said, and giggled again. "Lots of people don't pronounce it correctly."(4)

Charles goes on to say that Camazotz is perfect because it's a hive mind, one mind to rule them all, IT controls everyone and they can all be happy and not cause each other pain or hardship. Meg says Earth isn't perfect, but forced conformity can't be the only other solution. She wants to go home, but Calvin says they can't leave yet, but she's right, this place is Evil.

They continue onward, and Charles shows them the boy who bounced his ball wrong earlier, bouncing it perfectly in time now, but screaming in pain with every bounce.(5) A little further down, he makes another wall transparent, showing a room with a glass column in the middle, in which stands Mr. Murry.

=====

(1) Much as I abhor Joss Whedon, the "dear, we live on a spaceship" scene is one of many from Firefly that lives rent-free in my head. (2) There's nothing wrong with wanting reassurance that you're not alone, Meg. (3) Again, kinda nice to see this in the text of a children's book, considering how frequently ableism can creep in from the sides. This one's not getting everything as right or as consistent as you might like (see: Calvin's mum) but, I think L'Engle tried as best she could for her own framework. (4) While technically derived from the Marquis de Sade (which is pronounced "Sad"), "say-dist" is quite the more common and acceptable pronunciation in modern English. I don't know if or when there was a transition from one to the other, it's possible that "sad-ist" was more common or considered more acceptable when this was written. But, it amuses me that the prescriptionist in the room is incorrect. I wonder how many kids took this entity at its word, though. (5) Processing, one assumes. Reconditioning. Whatever you might want to call it besides evil.

Escape from Camazotz: TFS, Shadow NINA, and Saving Your Dad From The Fucked Up Idyllic World A Shadow Monster Has Imprisoned Him In

Loads of people have already talked about how this all:

is reminiscent of A Wrinkle In Time. And I agree...to an extent. I even have an initial Thing about AWIT from April 2023.

What doesn't make sense, though, is if that's the case...then whose father is being sought after/saved? The whole point in AWIT is that Meg Murry had to save her father from Camazotz, a creepily idyllic/conformist world created by IT...

...that also serves as a prison.

The capitol city of Camazotz is CENTRAL/Central Intelligence, and it's overseen by IT and the man with Red Eyes, who serves as a front for IT. Something something...CIA...Richard Brenner being the head of narcotics at HNL vs all the NINA-TFS-Mindflayer hallucinogenic drug ties I outlined previously.

Anyway, returning to suburban Camazotz...You know what else is idyllic that arguably shouldn't be?

Henry's current form.

There have been numerous posts relating the Mindflayer to IT (AWIT), which is where the idyllic but unreal nature comes in.

I've spoken ad nauseam about how TFS, NINA, and Shadow NINA all run along the same lines re: unreality/simulation/Matrix-y type deal, with the Mindflayer being able to quite literally run a different version of NINA to entrap Henry in the VR game. What I want to touch on is a section from the big analysis re: Henry's current whereabouts—

Specifically, per the VR, Henry was banished back into his mind in 1984, just before Will's flaying...which, as far as the VR tells us, he had no active involvement in. We don't know where he ended up, exactly, but the banishment does introduce us to the Shadow NINA concept.

Henry, per the VR, may very well still be trapped in the unreality maze of Shadow NINA.

It's also hilarious to to me that AWIT has a stage play...

...because we see, per TFS, this degree of romanticization coming from Henry alongside the unreality (below is also an excerpt from the big analysis)

In the VR, we're told Henry was bullied by his peers, but that never takes place in TFS. Nor is Bob bullied, though he also canonically says he was. This tells me the romanticization feeds into the unreality, creating what I had been saying all along: A nearly perfect dream world...

...until it comes crashing down when TFS Brenner exposes the truth. Henry has a persistent and steadfast commitment to writing off aspects of this unreality that flag it as unreality, and a persistent drive for normalcy. He wants to be normal and happy, and he tries to push down/hide from/ignore anything that says otherwise until he can't anymore.

In short: He's in deep, babes.

However, the real point I want to make with all this in mind: It's 100% possible the leaks we've seen of Jamie and Nell are set in a Camazotz-like Matrix-y idyllic dream world.

It's also possible, given the ties between Nell's character, Jane, and Henry, as well as Jamie's statements on Henry truly having wanted a nice life with El outside the lab and the understanding that parallels between texts and show are NEVER going to be 1:1, that Nell's character is the Meg Murry to Will's Charles Wallace and Mike's Calvin O'Keefe.

This works especially well considering that Charles Wallace is the one who ends up possessed by IT, much like Will has his persistent connection to the Mindflayer, and Meg Murry is looking for her father, which Henry isn't to either Mike or Will...but might be to a Mindflayer-generated version of the daughter he wanted to run away and start a new life with: Jane.

That's not to say Henry would be willing to leave that world, especially if he's got the life he always dreamed of, whether it's a gilded cage or not.

Final additional point: Hello overalls on Meg and flannel+bowl cut on Charles Wallace.

9 people to get to know better

Thanks for the tag, @cleucas I did half of this on my phone then got distracted and tumblr ate it so I had to switch to laptop for that sweet, sweet auto-save.

I also have the kind of ADHD/possible AuDHD where any time someone asks me what I like, I forget everything I've ever enjoyed soooo I will probably come up with better answers in a day and frantically edit hahaha help.

1. Three ships: Rylan all day every day right now. Ummm I'm actually not a big 'shipper so when one grabs me it REALLY grabs me! Starting to dip a toe into Steddie from Stranger Things (Steeeeve Harringtonnnn) even though it makes me sad because I don't think they're bringing sweet baby Eddie back, and, uh, three way animated tie between Bee and Deckard from Bee and Puppycat, Bubbline from Adventure Time, and Rose Quartz/Greg Universe from Steven Universe.

Honorable mention to my first doomed ship which was Clark and Lana from Smallville. Just never got on board with Lois.

(I almost put the Nina, the Pinta and the Santa Maria in here because I'm an asshole, but fuck Columbus!)

2. First ever ship: Maybe Sonic the Hedgehog and Amy Rose? He fast! She cannot catch up! Kawaii pathos! (Although I shipped him with Mina the Mongoose in the Archie comics as a kid RIP to those.) Or Meg Murry and Calvin O'Keefe from A Wrinkle in Time.

3. Last song: Bigger Than Love - Oh Wonder (asdlfkjalskdfj)

4. Last film: I watched some awful streaming romcom with my mom the other day and an equally awful Hallmark Christmas movie. Last film I actually enjoyed was probably His House. Scary and devastatingly beautiful!

5. Currently reading: Jane Austen's Emma on audiobook as I fall asleep and my own writing out loud to see if the dialogue is awkward in a bad way or in a good way.

6. Currently watching: Ghosts (UK - I’ve already seen the US one but I like this better so far). Research/I just like ghosts. About to start House of Usher and possibly Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.

7. Currently consuming: one thousand Coke Zeros but only because I'm out of Dr. Pepper Zero my beloved.

8. Currently craving: Dr. Pepper Zero my beloved.

new chapter of St.Calvin

where J.D. gets in a lot of trouble because of his old buddy and we learn a little bit more about his background.
